The Basqui tape from Ryshon Jones wasn’t exactly happy go lucky. Instead of upbeat or radio-friendly tunes, the Philly poet prescribed listeners with a dosage of lyrical dreariness that left most hoping the visual MC would just make it to his next studio session alive. Well, the eerie new video for “40 Pills” might explain his haze.

Taking a page out of the cult classic Donnie Darko, the second visual from Ryshon’s acclaimed tape throws viewers into the same secluded tailspin that makes his music so eerie. Emulating the twisted binger of death that is his Lee Bannon-produced track, Jones uses hazy illusions of zoned-out females and haunting zombie bunnies named Frank to visualize what it might feel like to pop “40 pills in 24 hours,” as the chorus archaically repeats. The concept and delivery might seem overly creepy, but then again, so is the song.

However, just because it’s menacing, doesn’t mean it can’t be dope. After all, horror movies always seem to resonate well with crowds and this is about as chilling as it gets.

Thank you for putting this up Beware…I always trust your judgment and unlike Aaron I appreciate the skill and overall quality…I think even if i didn’t like the guy I can still respect what he’s doing…Ryshon isn’t just another rapper that is coming out…hes creating his own lane, own sound, own look, and not doing what everyone else and their mom is doing nowadays. Some people have a tough time looking outside the box…. but when its a proven method all the sudden its genius lol… I almost feel bad for people like Aaron who have no clue/hate… have a dumbass opinion… yet will be a fan in 2 years… Overall I support quality and good music. This is both. S/O to Beware and Ryshon. #Respect
